When the fourth season wrapped up, Lucifer (played by Tom Ellis) had apparently embraced the sinister prophecy from Father Kinley (Graham McTavish).

Kissing his love interest and LAPD partner Chloe (Lauren German), he fulfilled his destiny and reclaimed his throne in the underworld.

Meanwhile, the ninth episode of the fourth season, Save Lucifer, took the twists a step further when Lucifer’s older brother, Amenadiel (D. B. Woodside) had a baby with former lover, the human Linda Martin (Rachael Harris).

Named Charlie, the newborn half-angel, half-human baby was quickly kidnapped by Dromos (possessing the body of Father Kinley) to try and make him the new King of Hell.

While the introduction of baby Charlie was a huge surprise for fans of the show, his birth was even more shocking for father Amenadiel, as it was previously thought angels were unable to impregnate humans.

Some fans have taken online to voice their confusion about the cryptic rules for relationships between humans and celestial beings.

One Redditor posted: “So, how is Charlie a celestial baby? When Amenadiel got Linda pregnant, Lucifer stated the only possible way for him to get Linda pregnant would be if Amenadiel had become 100 percent human because celestial beings CAN NOT get humans pregnant.”

Although Amenadiel didn’t have complete control over his angelic abilities on Earth, he still has the DNA of his heavenly brothers and sisters.

While Charlie is just a baby and hasn’t exhibited any supernatural abilities yet, fans were unsure if he actually qualified as a potential heir to the throne of hell when he was kidnapped by Dromos and his demons.

They continued: “Charlie should NOT be a celestial, and I personally do not like the fact that the later parts of season 4 and most likely some parts of season 5 will rely on him being half Angel half Human.”

As the first of his kind, Charlie is able to freely traverse between the plains of Heaven and Earth without killing him, as it would a normal human.

When he grows older, it’s likely he’ll start growing wings and developing similar powers to Lucifer and Amenadiel.
